RGDR4327-NTF (Natural Flat). Electric guitar with hardcase. Prestige 7-string. Made in Japan.
RGD is a series of guitars designed to be the ultimate metal guitar. In modern metal, it is more a rule than an exception to tune down guitars to access fatter, heavier and meaner riffs. On standard guitars, the scale length is a problem when tuning down, the strings tend to be like spaghetti and are difficult to get the guitar to stay in tune and the intonation goes out of tune. On the RGD series, the problem has been solved by making the scale on the neck 2,4 cm longer (673mm instead of 648mm). The difference in how stable the strings feel is great, but the difference in how it feels for the fingers to play on a longer neck is quite small, if you have large hands you probably experience it as an advantage with the longer scale.
The slightly beveled body makes the guitar extremely comfortable to play on, and the heavily beveled horns provide total access to the highest bands.
The guitar comes tuned from the factory a full step down, from low to high, A, D, G, C, F, A, D.
Neck: Wizard-7
The guitar is equipped with Ibanez Wizard neck profile, Wizard can best be described as a slightly thicker Super Wizard neck. It has the same flat fingerboard (430mmR), the same width and the same well-sharpened jumbo frets as the Super Wizard but is a little thicker. A neck for those who want what Ibanez is known for, an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, but want a little more wood in the hand.
Body: African Mahogany
Mahogany is a tonewood with sound characteristics in the warmer direction, with a clear and prominent midrange.
Stable: Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo.
The stable is Ibanez classic, and most popular, Lo-Pro EDGE model in a seven-string version.
An extremely stable and piece-resistant sway that has also proven that it can withstand many years of swaying without collapsing.
